The cuff is first placed as shown in the illustration on the cuff on the upper arm
and then connected to the unit. When the Start/Stop button is pressed, the system
starts to build up pressure automatically. Within a very short space of time the unit
records the small oscillations within the cuff which occur owing to expansion and
contraction of the arteries in the arm (heartbeat). The build-up of pressure stops af-
ter systole, diastole and pulse are established, after which the cuff is deflated. The
amplitude of each pressure wave is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg),
converted and displayed in the LCD as a digital value.
Table of contents
Thank you for choosing the visomat® comfort 20/40 upper arm blood pressure
monitor (also referred to in the following as the unit).
visomat® comfort 20/40 uses the oscillometric method for measuring blood pres-
sure and pulse rate on the upper arm.
Mode of operation:
As well as indicating systole, diastole and pulse, the unit offers additional displays
for determining irregular pulses and pulse pressure. Irregular pulses may be an in-
dication of an irregular heartbeat but also of restlessness during the measurement.
Pulse pressure provides an indication of the stretchability of the blood vessels. A
memory stores the last 30 measurement results in each case.
This unit is recommended to patients with unstable blood pressure for measuring
their blood pressure at home and for therapy support.

Important patient instructions1.
The unit is designed for non-invasive measurement of the systolic and dia-
stolic blood pressure on the upper arm, as well as measurement of the pulse
rate of adults, i.e. 15 years of age and older. Blood pressure measurements on
children require specialist knowledge! Please consult your doctor if you wish
to measure the blood pressure of a child. Do not under any circumstances use
the unit on a baby/infant.
•
The cuff has been specially developed for this unit and must not be used with
other units. It is designed for an upper arm circumference of 23-43 cm.
•
The measurement results of automatically measuring blood pressure monitors
may be falsified by pregnancy, irregular heartbeats, or arteriosclerosis. Mea-
sure your own blood pressure in cooperation with your doctor.
•
Measuring your own blood pressure does not constitute treatment. Do not
modify of you own accord the dosage of drugs/medication prescribed by your
doctor.
•
Do not under any circumstances place the cuff on or over any critical point,
e.g. wound, aneurysm, etc. Risk of injuries! The supply via an intravascular
access (infusion) could possibly be interrupted.
•

•
Refrain from drinking alcoholic or caffeinated beverages and smoking at least
one hour before measuring.
•
Expose the upper arm, the clothes must not impair the blood flow in or from
the arm as this influences the blood pressure at the measurement point.
•
Important instructions for use3.
Resting during the measurement is absolutely essential! Talking or moving
as well as strong irregular heartbeats will affect the measurement result, the
values becoming too high.
•
Insert the supplied batteries into the unit, if these have not been inserted already.
Initial operation of the unit4.
Remove the cover of the battery compartment on the underside of the unit.
Inserting/replacing batteries:5.

a coffee table!).
–
Body posture must be relaxed: •
Rest your back against the backrest of the chair.–
Lay down your lower arm completely.–
Place your feet on the floor and do not cross your legs.–
There should be no irregular heartbeats during the measurement! Irregular
movements, vibrations, speaking, and breathing heavily will also affect the
measurement.Listen out for regular pulse beep signals during measurement; if
necessary, repeat the measurement in improved conditions.
•
Unusual measurement results are possible with all automatically measur-
ing blood pressure measurement systems from time to time. Check yourself:
did you comply with the instructions for use above? If necessary, repeat the
measurement after allowing the blood circulation in the arm to recuperate
briefly; rest for about 3-5 minutes for this purpose.Tip: Remain seated, your
monitor will switch off automatically about 3 minutes after a measurement.
Afterwards, we recommend that you repeat the measurement.
•
If the unit is to be operated from the mains power
supply, the cable plug of the mains adapter (accessory)
must be inserted into the connection socket on the
right side of the unit. The batteries are switched off
automatically.

Attaching the cuff6.
Expose the upper arm.•
Push the cuff onto the arm until the lower edge
of the cuff is 2-3 cm above the crook of the arm.
•
When using the unit on the left arm the air hose
runs to the unit through the middle of the crook
of the arm so that the 4 cm long artery marking
is located centrally above the pulse position.
•
When using the unit on the right arm the cuff
must be rotated to the left until the artery
marking is on the pulse position. The air hose
then runs along the inner side of the upper arm.
•
Now pull the free cuff end tight and flip it back
tightly above the Velcro fastener.
•
Check if the arrow on the cuff is within the
marking at the edge of the cuff.
•
Insert the air connector of the cuff into the air
socket on the unit.
•
Now pull the free cuff end tight and flip it back
tightly above the Velcro fastener.
•
Measuring blood pressure7.
Switch on the unit by pressing the Start/Stop
button. The following display is visible.
•
The automatically controlled inflation process
begins once the unit has completed its calibration
against the ambient air pressure.
•
The “♥” symbol flashes in the display, beeps
sound to denote the pulse, the cuff is inflated and
blood pressure and pulse are measured while the
cuff is being inflated.
•
Inflation stops as soon as the measured values
are determined, the cuff is then automatically
deflated.
•
The cuff should be tightened to such an extent
that 2 fingers can still be inserted between arm
and cuff. Tip:
•
Angle the arm slightly.–
The upper arm muscle is tensioned slightly.–
This increases the circumference of the arm
slightly.
–
The determined values of systole, diastole and
pulse and the pulse pressure (PP) are shown
alternately in the display.
•
The unit switches off automatically after approx.
3 minutes.
•
A long beep denotes the end of measurement.•

WHO traffic light function8.
The unit categorises the blood pressure readings according to the guidelines of
the World Health Organisation (WHO). You can use the coloured fields to read the
categorisation of each reading:
WHO 2003 * It is sufficient
for one of the
values to be
raised.
Pulse pressure9.
The pulse pressure – not to be confused with the pulse beat – provides an indica-
tion of the stretchability of the blood vessels. A hard system of vessels can have a
negative effect on the cardiovascular system. Studies show that the cardiovascular
risk increases if the pulse pressure value is greater than 65 mmHg.
Lower dot (Green) signifies normal value–
Middle dot (Yellow) signifies borderline value*–
Upper dot (Red) signifies high pressure*–
The categorisation according to WHO is stored with the readings and can be called
up again together with the readings from the memory.
The heart works in two phases, the contraction phase (systole) and the relaxation
phase (diastole). The pressure difference between systole and diastole is called the
pulse pressure or pulse amplitude. The higher the pulse pressure, the harder the
vessels.
** millimetres
of mercury
High pulse pressure above 65 mmHg
Increased pulse pressure 55 to 65 mmHg
Normal pulse pressure below 55 mmHg
If your pulse pressure is permanently above 55 mmHg, consult your doctor.
If the symbol appears more frequently, this may
be caused by an irregular heartbeat and must be
discussed with your doctor! Measurement results ac-
companied by flashing pulse displays should therefore
be viewed as critical and repeated under more favour-
able conditions.
Irregular pulse waves10.
If the symbol for irregular pulse waves flashes after a
measurement, the unit has recorded irregular pulses
during the measurement. This can be set off by an
irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), disturbances caused
by movement, talking or even breathing in deeply. The
symbol is stored with the respective measurement.

What you should know about blood pressure
english
Why you should measure blood pressure regularly3.
Even the time of day has an influence on your blood pressure. During the day the
values are generally higher than during the periods of rest at night. One-off and
irregular measurements therefore say little about your actual blood pressure. A reli-
able assessment is possible only when measurements are taken regularly. Discuss
the measurement values with your doctor.
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure values1.
The cardiovascular system has the important function of supplying all organs and
tissues in the body with sufficient amounts of blood and of transporting metabolites.
For this, the heart contracts and expands at a regular rate of about 60 to 80 times
per minute. The pressure of the flowing blood on the artery walls caused by the heart
contracting is termed systolic. The pressure in the ensuing relaxation phase, when the
heart refills with blood, is termed diastolic. During daily measurement you determine
both values.
Reasons for measuring different values2.
Our blood pressure responds to internal and external influences like a sensitive
measuring instrument. It can be affected by even slight changes. This explains
why often values measured with the doctor or pharmacist are higher than those
measured at home in the environment you are used to. Changes in the weather,
climate changes, or physical or psychological stress can have effects as well.
Measured results are automatically stored in the memory. The memory can store up
to 30 results and the average value.
When more than 30 measured values have been stored, the oldest value (No. 30)
is deleted to allow the latest value (No. 1) to be recorded. Press the Memory but-
ton to call up data. The average value of the stored results is displayed with “A”,
the values for systole, diastole and pulse and the pulse pressure (PP) are shown
alternately in the display.
Press the button repeatedly to call up further measured values. If no value is
stored, nothing will be displayed (just dashes). The stored data remain visible in the
display for around 30 seconds. The unit then switches itself off.
Using the memory11.
To delete individual measured values, press the Memory button repeatedly to call
up the desired measured value. Then press the Memory button again and hold
down for 8-10 seconds until the measured value has disappeared.
If no value is stored, there is no display.
To delete the entire memory, call up the average value, press the Memory button
again and hold down until the average value has disappeared. If the display
flashes, the deletion process has not been completed and must be repeated.

The unit contains sensitive parts and must be protected against strong varia-
tions in temperature, air humidity, dust and direct sunlight.
•
The unit is neither impact-resistant nor shock-proof. We recommend that you
have the intactness and accuracy of the display checked after heavier falls or
impacts.
•
The unit is not water-proof.•
Please use a soft, dry cloth to clean the unit only. Do not use benzene, thin-
ners or other strong solvents.
•
Do not scrub or machine-wash the cuff. Please use synthetic cleaners and
softly rub the surface.
•
If the unit has been opened, it must be subjected to a metrological inspection
conducted by an authorised organisation.
•
Make sure that liquid cannot get into the air hose. Dry thoroughly.•
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment and the device
The device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the device can help prevent electro-
magnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the device as recommended below, according
to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended
separation distance d in metres (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the
frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter
in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE1 To calculate the recommended separation distance of transmitters in the frequency
range of 80 MHz and 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz, an additional factor of 10/3 has been used in
order to reduce the probability of a mobile/portable communications device unintentionally
introduced into the patient area causing a fault.
NOTE2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is
affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
